That depends on the model. Plenty of newer OnePlus phones use mediatech processors with little to no custom ROM support.
A fact I found after buying a new OnePlus phone without doing any research because I was in a desperate situation.
Ah I see, is bootloader unlocking etc still available? (A more techy person could still go hard on privacy implementations)
I'm using nothing myself but the op said its unavailable in their country. I also noted that now lots of ROMs come preloaded with GAPPS whereas you had to load separately in the past.
It's common but phones like the 10R don't have any support for unlocking bootloaders
Ah that's fair. I think I had the 9 or maybe 7
